I often post on threads and would like to check if anyone said something in reply to me, but not necessarily follow the whole thread. Is there a quick way to do that?

I'm thinking something like Reddit's system, where you get a notification when someone replies directly to you.

No, the forum doesn't have this feature, unfortunately.

Yes. Click "User CP".

There you can view your subscribed threads. (If they're not all showing, click "View All Subscribed Threads" towards the bottom right.)

You can also turn off e-mail notification by:
- Clicking "Edit Options" under "Settings & Options" (on the left-hand side of the User CP page), and then
- Scrolling down to "Messaging & Notification", and then
- Choosing "No E-mail Notification" from the drop-down menu under "Default Thread Subscription Mode". (There are also daily and weekly e-mail notification options if you want a heads-up, but not every single time someone posts.)
